Is there a free program like Microsoft Access?

How do I develop a program written in Microsoft Access into a full-fledged program?

  • I have a database with quite a lot of forms and VBA code that I wrote for my small business. I would like to develop it further into a standalone POS program with CRM, Accounting and Marketing features. I am currently on a sabbatical in Shanghai, China. Can I advantageously do that here, or should I go back to the US? My program uses a third party driver to communicate with Quickbooks, which would be nice to retain in the standalone program.

  • Answer:

    Access is NOT a good program for this. It suffers severe limitations in implementation, and is not good under multiple user or massive amounts of data. It is also never true conversion as it is always dependent on running the Access runtime underneath.
